Wind Speed and Direction
Wind Direction:
Wind Speed:
Wind Direction and Speed are one of the most important aspects for choosing a fishing spot. An offshore wind can help land-based anglers with longer casting distances, while an onshore wind will make kayak fishing safer. Often fish will also move to certain feeding areas depending on the wind direction. Check out the long term wind forecast at the charts below.
Fishing Barometer
Atmospheric Pressure:
Change since midnight:
Trend for next 6 hours:
Atmospheric or Barometric Pressure affects fish activity. The best fishing can be had on a rising barometer and also the time just before it is falling. A steady barometer in the higher ranges can also mean good fishing. A falling or low barometer reading without much change is usually not a very good time for fishing.
UV Effect on Fishing
As a rule of thumb, the higher the UV index, the deeper fish will move. Shallow water fishing is best done at times with a low UV index. When the UV is high, stick to early mornings, late evenings and shaded areas. The effect is less noticable in deeper water, but often a higher UV index can produce good results in the deep.

October Fishing Report
Tulsa’s fall bite is heating up as nights cool and lakes begin light turnover. Expect shad pushing shallow in creeks and along wind-blown points, with early and late windows best. Recent cold fronts can slow midday action but spark a strong afternoon rebound when the sun stabilizes conditions.
Largemouth bass are chasing bait on points and flats; cover water with spinnerbaits, lipless cranks, and topwater at first light, then switch to jerkbaits and finesse jigs around docks and rocky pockets as the sun rises.
Crappie are stacking on brush piles and timber in 8–15 ft; vertical jigging or small minnows are producing steady bites. When wind pushes bait to riprap or bridges, watch for white bass busting shad—cast small spoons or swimbaits into surface feeds.
Blue and channel catfish are active along river channels and mid-lake humps; drift or anchor with cut shad. After breezy days, check downwind banks on Keystone, Skiatook, or Oologah for concentrated bait and predators.
Top Tip: Find the bait first—use sonar or watch for birds and nervous surface flickers; if you see shad, stay mobile and the bites will follow.
